Haze's second day as the heir of the Blackwood family started with the realization that it was already past six in the morning.The brunette Elaine greeted him with a threatening smirk that told him today would feel like hell. Indeed, it was.After the torturous morning jog, he showered and ate breakfast. He had to force the plateful of delicacy into his mouth because he only wanted to drop dead right there after his sleepless night and six kilometers of a run."You're an adult. You should know that rest is important," Elaine scolded him like a child as they walked to the front yard. The two long pools on either side of the stone-paved path glimmered with the sunshine."I was exhausted, but my mind couldn't shut up about your horrifying words," Haze grumbled as they ventured to a small garden. "I've been working for two years, and my money is far from it. How can I earn that much in one day?"The brunette scoffed as she led them to a wooden bench f

The main hall of the 7th World Games Tournament was full of cheering people. After a long and fierce match, Heroes Domain’s teams going to the finals were decided. The last game will be held later tonight as the main event. Before that, there would be exhibition matches and amateurs playing against each other. Haze and Alfie had signed up for it, and now they must gather behind the stage to decide the teams. “Excuse me,” a man in a red shirt with a hanging name card approached Haze. He must be the organizer, “What’s the name you signed up with again?” “It’s Nameless,” Haze said calmly. “Okay.” Beside him, Alfie blinked. “Dude, seriously? He’s here wearing a space trooper costume with a big-ass pumpkin head, and you’re concerned with the nickname he picked?” The organizer was bothered by Alfie’s outburst. “You can see cosplayers here and there. It doesn’t matter. This is as much a game convention as it is a championship. Everything is f

The 7th World Games Tournament for Battle Arena division was slowly reaching its peak as the hour neared. The final match between Galantius and Arcanic Dragon would start at eight tonight. However, before that, an exhibition match would be held between the amateur match's winner and last year's champion.Haze and his team were waiting on the stage for Heaven's Edge, ready to face the giant team. As the rule said, the team champion had to wait for a year before they could participate in the World Games Tournament again. They could only participate in the exhibition match against the amateur match's winner.As the name suggested, the players of Heaven's Edge ascended to the center stage like a regal king about to claim their throne. Dressed in their blue uniform with golden stripes, their appearance summoned the crowd to cheer for them. All of Haze's superb performance with his Support hero seemed incomparable against such a team."So, guys," the MC directed the q

Haze started the day with apparent smugness. Elaine was across the dining table. He had ordered her to eat there with him, claiming it was the least she could do after he had spectacularly signed a three-year contract with Red Riot Beverage. Also, he wanted to see the defeated look on her face after he had proven himself yesterday. “Shut up.” He frowned, “I didn’t say anything.” “Your face is telling enough,” she grumbled. “Don’t get carried away after one little success.” “Hey, that’s two million worth of contract I got. Surely it wasn’t little.” “I said what I said.” Haze leered at her, “You know, a little congratulation would sound nice.” “Eat shit.” “What did you say?!” Haze gasped. “What a foul thing to say for that big talk of ‘Cassius never curse’ thing you go on and on.” Face flaming red, Elaine finished her breakfast and left to the kitchen. “You’re mad?” Haze teased, following her to th

Haze and the two girls who hated his gut arrived at Walemount in the early afternoon. It was the city where he grew up with his mother, before she passed away a few years ago. He liked this city much, from its green environment and easy public access.However, being here reminded him of the people who hurt him just a few weeks ago.This was the city where Vicky Turner and Derek Philips lived, the ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, and the former best friend who beat him for money. This was the city where Haze Wilburn died and never walked the Earth again.He chuckled at the bitter memory, at the biggest betrayal the closest people to him ever did."So, who are we meeting?" the sharp-eyed Maxine asked from the shotgun seat.A frown formed on his face, thinking he should be sitting there, instead of suffering in the back seat all by himself. In turn, he glared at Elaine, who refused to let him drive, reminding him that the last time he was driving, so
